‘Stay With Me,’ for me, is my own personal anthem to the ‘walk of shame…’ that we’ve all gone through. It’s the feeling after a one-night stand of not wanting that person to leave, even if you don’t love them and don’t even like them. It’s about having that body next to you.
Don’t leave inferences to be drawn when evidence can be presented.
I always revisit duality because I think it’s a conflict we all have. I think we all leave our house and go to work, and we put on the cape and become superheroes. That’s what we do. It’s how we move through life and handle negativity: you do everything you can to stay away from it.
